garbanzo bean salad

Chickpea and Artichoke Salad has protein, tons of flavour and is a quick dinner you can have ready in minutes. Canned artichoke hearts in oil are a great investment using the marinated artichoke oil as the dressing for this salad.

A full Pantry is a happy Pantry

Keep your pantry stocked with a few basics like canned beans, lentils, chickpeas, stock and tomatoes. With just a few pantry items you can pull together a meal in no time. Chickpeas contain vitamins including iron, minerals, fiber, calcium and essential to our bodies, protein. Ensure when you buy your chickpeas they come with only three ingredients or less; chickpeas, water, salt. It’s all the other additives that can cause gas.

Chickpea and Artichoke Salad

With a pantry full of basics, quick meals are never far away. Use chickpeas in stews, chili, roast them with a little spice (my favourite snack) as we did in this Ras el Hanout Roasted Cauliflower with Chick Peas, add to curries, hummus like our Roasted Jalapeno Hummus or dips, soups and salads. Try adding fresh herbs, cooked bacon or pancetta if you eat meat, goat or feta cheese to change this salad up and make it your own.

Who says being on a food plan has to be boring?!! Good Eats also consist of beans and this Chickpea Salad with Feta will leave you feeling full and satisfied. I made this recipe last year and it fits perfectly into my current meal plan.
